Indie Authors,
If you'd like to know more about Itchio Bundles, this post is a good place to start. Having hosted 6 bundles myself and participated in many more, I took some time to reflect on what makes for a good bundle, and a successful one.
And FYI, the majority of my sales and indie author income is from Itch Bundle sales. The collective marketing and shared income of bundles is great for #SpoonieAuthors.

Hamayumishi will launch in just under TWELVE HOURS!! Get yer fill of twin-stick shooting, side-scrolling action platforming in our latest and greatest game! Available on #Steam and #itchio with a beefy demo up on both! This was a huge labor of love made almost entirely by Daikon, and drawing on our love of local legends and folk tales! We hope you enjoy!!

A bundle of 150 games created by the United Videogame Workers union to support videogame industry workers in the US and Canada impacted by layoffs.
"Reports say 33% of the industry lost their jobs in the last two years, and the jobs they could fill are disappearing as CEOs try to replace them with AI."

Nothing About Us Without Us - a disability pride bundle.
July is Disability Pride Month, and this bundle celebrates disabled authors and the stories that represent us. Some of these novels are by disabled writers and range across every genre you can think of. Others center disabled characters and experiences. All of them belong here.
When you pick up this bundle, your money goes to the authors in it and to Disenfranchised Writers' Voices. Pay the minimum to get every book in the bundle, or pay more to support the authors and Disenfranchised Writers' Voices further. Either way you're helping these authors get read, and get paid.
My contribution, once again, is the novella 'Their Village, Their Fortress'. In addition to having been written by a disabled author, this story features a central character who makes key contributions to community defense because some people have learned how to work with him and offer reasonable accommodations. The story also shows his struggles, because I feel it is important to show them.

Heyia, #portfolioday ! I am Gabriel "tiopalada" Lima, a generalist artist that excels mostly at pixel art. Take a look at my itch.io page if you are looking for game assets! I am currently holding a Summer Sale.

Auf @itchio@mastodon.gamedev.place läuft gerade der Summer Sale. Und da konnte ich nicht anders, als meine Sammlung der @novabox@mastodon.gamedev.place Spiele zu vervollständigen.
Ich mag einfach diese künstlerisch sehr ansprechenden Zeichnungen sowie die Musik.

I wanted to draw attention to some specific gamedev art assets that I like and are on sale.
VectoRaith makes what is instantly recognizable as the 16x16 pixel top-down rpg look typified by Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, but with tilesets for many different biomes and several different cultural architecture styles, including China, the Middle East and Java. Sale ends tomorrow
https://vectoraith.itch.io/
Vexed makes a lot of pixel art assets in a few different styles, but I particularly like the "Chroma Noir" collection which is side-scrolling 1-bit abstract minimalism. Sale doesn't end until the end of the month

February became such a bad month for me, I couldn't finish this on time. Is the WIP readable? I don't know but I'm still submitting because I'm happy this #transhetjam exists!
I will definitely finish this story this year! Please enjoy!

A quick/rushed blog post before I'm off to different kinds of work. I look at two bundles which currently feature my work and note one or more things about each.
"The Bundles of March, Pt. 1"
